Titles: Associated British Pathe Ltd. Sales Convention. Delegates visit Elstree Studios August 26, 1950.
Delegates assembled outside Film House. They climb on board a buses and wave goodbye. Street Sign "Wardour Street". Outside Elstree studios the executive staff and a number of celebrities await their arrival. An executive shows his Pathe tie with the cockerel logos. The buses arrive and the huge crowd of delegates mingle outside. A female celebrity signs autographs. Three girls in leotards and ballet slippers peep around the corner. They run ecstatically towards the group and throw their arms around some of the delegates who skip and dance along with them. The delegates tour the prop store and studio workshops. A gorgeous girl has hidden under a sheet and reveals herself. In one of the studios they watch a glamorous model in a swimsuit posing for cameras with a beach ball. The delegates line up for group photographs. The camera pans along their smiling faces.
